TheGT America Series is asports car racing series based in theUnited States which runs as a support series to theGT World Challenge America. It is managed by theStéphane Ratel Organisation and sanctioned by theUnited States Auto Club.
The series was announced in October 2020, replacing theGT Sports Club America and the Sprint category of theGT4 America Series.[1] The first race was run on March 6, 2021, and was won byGeorge Kurtz.[2] At the end of the opening season, Charlie Luck was crowned the inaugural overall champion, while Jason Bell won the GT4 class championship.[3]
The series places strong emphasis on Bronze-rated andgentleman drivers in the single-driver sprint race format. Races are 40 minutes in length, with no required pit stops.[4] Entries are split into three classes; SRO3 (featuringGT3-homologated cars),GT2, andGT4. Previous generation GT3 machinery is also homologated for the competition.[1]
The 2021 season featured a GT3 Masters class, exclusively for drivers above the age of 50, which took a similar format to the former GT Sports Club's Titanium class. With many Bronze-rated drivers already over the age of 50, and inaugural champion Charlie Luck claiming both the Masters and Overall championships, the class was disbanded ahead of the 2022 season.
